RSI Divergence (GOLD) Trading Strategy — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Everyone on the internet seems to be
- 0:01teaching the RSI wrong. They tell you to
- 0:04sell when it's overbought and they tell
- 0:06you to buy when it's oversold. And
- 0:08that's exactly how you lose every single
- 0:11trade and get massively wrecked. Let me
- 0:14show you my secret sauce. A simple way
- 0:17to trade RSI divergences that actually
- 0:20works. Loku Montana, this video is for
- 0:23you. And for those of you that don't
- 0:24know, every single week I make a
- 0:26personalized video response to one of
- 0:28your questions from the comments of the
- 0:30previous video. Loku asked, "Can you
- 0:31make a video on RSI divergence reversal
- 0:34and short short pullback positions?"
- 0:36Absolutely, bro. Let's get into it. The
- 0:38RSI is not about spotting tops and
- 0:41bottoms. It's a momentum indicator. It
- 0:44tells you how strong the current trend
- 0:46is. Here you can see the RSI line. And
- 0:49if you look closely, you can see that
- 0:51the typical range is between 70 on the
- 0:54high level and 30 on the low level. The
- 0:56RSI, also known as the relative strength
- 1:00index, firstly measures momentum and not
- 1:04direction. On the higher side, 70 means
- 1:07that price is overbought. On the lower
- 1:10end, 30 means the price is oversold. But
- 1:14this does not mean that it is confined
- 1:17to these two ranges. it can go outside
- 1:19of them. The RSI is also for trend
- 1:23strength, not entry timing, unless you
- 1:26know the secret sauce. When the RSI
- 1:28breaks above 70, the asset is very
- 1:32strong, but that doesn't mean it's going
- 1:34to reverse yet. The same goes when it
- 1:37falls below 30. Just because it's
- 1:40oversold doesn't mean it's time to buy.
- 1:43Divergences happen when price makes a
- 1:46new high but the RSI makes a lower high
- 1:50or the opposite on the bottom. Price
- 1:52makes a new low but the RSI makes a
- 1:56higher low. Here is an example of a
- 1:58bearish divergence where price goes up
- 2:01and RSI goes down. And here is an
- 2:04example of a bullish divergence where
- 2:06price goes down and RSI goes up. Key
- 2:09things to keep in mind here when
- 2:11spotting divergences is that the price
- 2:14and the RSI are out of sync. They are
- 2:17divergent to each other. This is a sign
- 2:20of trend weakness. It doesn't mean
- 2:23reversal yet, just caution. This is a
- 2:26great warning, but it is not your entry.
- 2:29And that's where my secret sauce comes
- 2:32in. Here's what I do. I wait for the RSI
- 2:35to leave the 7030 zone. Then I wait for
- 2:38it to come back inside that zone. That's
- 2:42the moment where the momentum flips and
- 2:45that's where I look for entries. Now
- 2:48let's see a real life example of how
- 2:50this looks on the charts and it is way
- 2:53more simple than you think. This is gold
- 2:56US dollar on the 15-minute time frame.
- 2:58This right here is the price. This right
- 3:00here is the RSI. To find the RSI, all
- 3:03you need to do is type in relative
- 3:05strength index, click it, and add it to
- 3:07your chart. These are default settings.
- 3:09Nothing has been changed. Now, just to
- 3:11show you a quick example, the price
- 3:13right here has been going up. The RSI
- 3:16went up and then started to go down
- 3:18before the price started to go down.
- 3:20This is a divergence. I've been doing
- 3:22that for years, so my eyeballs can spot
- 3:24it immediately. But I have a way simpler
- 3:27solution for you guys, and this is my
- 3:29secret sauce. forget about the price
- 3:32chart and just doubleclick the RSI to
- 3:35make it full screen. All you're looking
- 3:37for is for the RSI to leave the range
- 3:39and then come back into the range. So,
- 3:41we left the range right here and we
- 3:43started to trade within the range right
- 3:45here. So, I'm going to circle this. We
- 3:47stayed within the range right here. We
- 3:49left the range right here and then came
- 3:51back in. So, I'm going to circle this.
- 3:53We left the range, came back in the
- 3:55range. We left the range, came back in
- 3:58the range. I'm looking at these little
- 4:00peaks after it left the range. Outside
- 4:03of the 70 range, inside of the 70 range,
- 4:07outside of the 30 range, inside of the
- 4:1030 range, 70 on the top, 30 on the
- 4:13bottom. And you can just keep circling
- 4:15all of these first points where it was
- 4:18trading within the range after it left
- 4:19the range. Outside, inside. It's super
- 4:23simple. Now, this next part is probably
- 4:25going to blow your brain whole. Take
- 4:27your vertical line tool and place a
- 4:29vertical line on every single one of
- 4:32these areas that you circled. We're not
- 4:34even looking for divergences at this
- 4:36point. We are simply looking at the RSI
- 4:39trading within the range after it's left
- 4:41the range. And the reason behind this is
- 4:43because the price was overbought and
- 4:46then stopped being overbought and went
- 4:48into the normal range. And usually when
- 4:50it goes back into the normal range, it's
- 4:52likely to go to the other side. Because
- 4:54this is an oscillating momentum
- 4:56indicator, it oscillates from one end to
- 4:58the other. So not even looking for
- 5:00divergences. These are the points that
- 5:02I've marked up. As it's left the range
- 5:05and come back in the range and made a
- 5:06little peak. Now double click the RSI.
- 5:08You'll get your price back up. And as
- 5:10you can see here, you take a long
- 5:12position. Here you take a short
- 5:14position. Here you take a long position.
- 5:17Here you take a short position. As you
- 5:19can see here, you take a short position,
- 5:22long position, short position. I'm not
- 5:24even adjusting these tools. I'm just
- 5:26putting the position tool. So, just from
- 5:28these that I marked up, we have a win, a
- 5:31win, a win, a loss, but it went in our
- 5:34direction. A win, a loss, a win, a win,
- 5:38a win. You don't even have to look for
- 5:40divergences even though they were here
- 5:4390% of the time. Price was going down,
- 5:46RSI was going up. Price was going up,
- 5:49RSI was going down. Price was going
- 5:51down, RSI was going up. These are simply
- 5:55divergences to show you that the
- 5:56momentum was being lost. And all you
- 5:59need to do is wait. Be patient. Please
- 6:02wait for the price to leave the 7030
- 6:04range. Wait for it to start coming back
- 6:06in. Then look for those little peaks and
- 6:09tops and then get in there. Look left
- 6:12for your market structure. Put your stop
- 6:14loss below the previous swing and you
- 6:16will make money like 80% of the time.
- 6:20Back test it a 100 times if you want.
- 6:22This is not a 100% win rate strategy,
- 6:26but it is crazy effective. It's been my
- 6:29goto since day one of day trading. Now,
- 6:32this is just a bonus tip, but if you
- 6:34want to help with these entries, all you
- 6:37got to do is add the easy exit
- 6:39indicator. And if you've already marked
- 6:41up your chart and you've gotten into
- 6:42your trade and you see one of these
- 6:44little dots by your entry, you know
- 6:47you're pretty much safe to let that ride
- 6:49out. They don't pop up all the time, but
- 6:51it's a good indication to tell you when
- 6:52the markets are done with that swing up.
- 6:55These are actually exit points. So, if
- 6:57you were in a long position here, this
- 6:59would be your exit point. Yellow is a
- 7:01weak exit, orange is a medium exit, and
- 7:04red is a GTFO exit. If this video helped
- 7:08simplify the RSI for you, let me know in
- 7:10the comment section down below. And I
- 7:12will see you in the next video.
